The restrictions have been imposed on the movement of commercial vehicles and other transport means.

From 5 pm on September 9 to 11:50 pm on September 10, no auto rickshaw or taxi will be allowed to operate in New Delhi.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will individually welcome all global leaders at the newly-inaugurated Bharat Mandapam in Delhi's Pragati Maidan.

Modi will host a lunch for all global leaders on Saturday followed by a dinner which will be hosted by President Droupadi Murmu.

Quoting foreign ministry spokesperson, Mao Ning,  the statement read: "At the invitation of the government of the Republic of India, Premier of the State Council Li Qiang will attend the 18th G20 Summit to be held in New Delhi, India on September 9 and 10."
